Some 450 newly integrated workers in the ministry rounded off a series of capacity-building seminars last Friday.
Newly-absorbed personnel into the Ministry of Finance have rounded off a series of capacity-building seminars aimed at equipping them with adequate knowledge of what their jobs entail, the challenges and what they could do to deliver the required goods. The four-series seminars under the theme, "Initiation into Administrative Techniques", centred among others on the "General Presentation of the Ministry of Finance", "Rights and Obligations of a State Functionary", Career Profile and what it takes to cross from one stage to the other", "Ethics of their profession" as well as "Administrative Writing".
Presiding at the end of the seminar last Friday at the Yaounde Congress Hall, the Minister Delegate in the Minister of Finance, Pierre Titi said drilling the 450 personnel was part of the Ministry's effort to better arm its staff for efficiency. He said the general notion of public finance, knowledge of their working environment as well as their career profiles, inculcated into the personnel adequately prepared them for what he termed, the daunting task of dealing with State finances. "All what you have learned is to ease your insertion and adaptability into the finance sector of our economy", he said adding that, "you must use the knowledge to excel both in behaviour and output so as to improve on the functioning of the Ministry". Pierre Titi said the seminars kept the new recruits abreast with administrative techniques which he stressed are different from what is taught in school.
The personnel in a joint statement thanked the administration for the seminars and promised to judiciously use the knowledge in their respective spheres of influence. They enjoined the Ministry to use them in their areas of specialisation and competence, create a control mechanism for the follow up of the staff as well as improve on their working conditions.
